I've decided to start switching Point Of Views between key characters and then 3rd person. I just felt it would make the story more enjoyable. Oh and I'd like to give a warm shout-out to my first reviewers clannad fan girl and XRoseDewX. Reading your reviews made my writing seem more worth while so thank you uber much! Other readers, thanks for reading! And go check out their stories, they're really good! 3
Without further adieu I bring you Chapter 4. ~Enjoy!
~Molly's Pov~
I woke up the next morning on the floor near the foot of my bed.
'What am I doing on the ground?'
I looked over to see Finn lying in the crook of my neck. I remembered my argument with Chase the previous day and realized that Finn must have been trying to comfort me. Knowing that I had such a great friend always by my side Settled my thoughts, and kept me just a little more stable. My eyes widened suddenly.
"DARN IT! FRIENDS!" I shouted, startling Finn awake.
"Molly what's wrong? What happened?" Finn floated in front of me.
*BANG BANG BANG*
I stared at the door and the only thing I could think of saying was "Crap..."
"I know you're in there Molly. My lovable, kind, daring BASTARD of a friend who stood us up last night!" Kathy's shrill voice screamed on the other side of the door.
"Oh MOOOOOOOLLLLLYYYYY! Come out to plaaaaaaaaay!" Luke sang in an ominous manner.
"Molly, whatever you do, do NOT answer this door." Calvin's voice came, seemingly the only sane one at my doorstep.
Another series of loud bangs provoked me to shoot up but I instantly shouted with pain. I felt my side and remembered the rest of yesterday.
"Molly? Are you okay in there?" Kathy asked with concern in her voice.
I quickly went to my dresser and pulled off my clothing from yesterday and examined the bruise, it was much worse today. I put on some random night clothes and plopped down in my bed.
"Molly?" Calvin shouted.
"Finn! Get me something to make me really, really hot!" I whispered urgently to the orange sprite. He nodded and quickly rummaged through my fridge and produced a red chili. He gave it to me and I ate it whole. It set my mouth ablaze and I started to sweat like crazy!
"That's it Molly! We're using the spare key!" Luke said worriedly.
"One more thing!" I whispered to him, pointing to the cocktail in the fridge. It would make me seem out of it enough so that my friends would buy the act that I was supposedly sick.
Finn quickly gave it to me and I drank it down and tossed the glass at Finn to hide just before the key clicked in the lock. I laid my head on the pillow and quickly made myself look asleep, making my breathing sound raspy.
"Did she actually sleep through all that banging?" Luke asked surprised as they came in and shut the door.
"Molly! Get up!" I heard Kathy say approaching my bedside but she quickly gasped.
"You guys! There's something wrong with her!" Kathy whispered.
I heard two sets of footsteps walk quickly across the room and felt a cool hand against my now burning face (from the red chili).
"She's burning up." Calvin said seriously.
"Molly...Molly...!" Luke quietly called my name and gently shook me.
The alcohol already having set in, I looked at them with a flushed face and tired eyes. I tried my best to make my smile look weak and diminished.
"Oh my gosh Molly! What happened to you?" Kathy said with a worry stricken face.
"Been sick...since yesterday afternoon...sorry I missed...bar night." I said with raspy breaths that were suddenly starting to sound real.
"Don't be ridiculous Molls. Why didn't you go straight to the clinic?" Calvin asked firmly. I winced at that. Chase was trying to take me there yesterday. Now I have a horrible bruise on the right side of my abdomen, and my fake sickness was becoming more realistic by the second. Maybe a red chili and cocktail mix wasn't the best idea. I could've just faked a belly ache instead. Or nausea. That would've done the trick just as well.
"I felt too horrible..." I murmured to my concerned friends. Kathy rubbed my head and her hand felt cool to the touch.
"Stay here with Molly while I go get Jin." Calvin said and Luke and Kathy agreed.
Calvin rushed towards the door and opened it.
"Chase...What're you doing here?" Calvin asked the unexpected visitor that stood just on the other side of the entrance. I almost bolted right up when I heard the name but I felt dizzy and put my head back down.
~Chase's POV~
'I can't believe I'm doing this.'
I shuffled across the bridge leading from Flute Fields to Harmony Ranch, the name Molly gave her farm to follow the island's music them.
'I really don't believe I'm doing this.'
I shook my head of all thoughts as I approached the door to Molly's house. After the incident yesterday, I had every reason to believe that Molly never wanted to see me again. I couldn't blame her. I was a total jerk from the minute she moved here. Though I could do without her nightly visits to the bar and her clumsiness and-
'Stop Chase! You're here to check on her. To make sure she went to the clinic! Stay focused!'
I shook my head once more and, reluctantly, reached my hand out to knock on the door but it suddenly opened. I opened my mouth to greet Molly but shut it quick when I came face to face with Calvin.
'Whoa...I thought Molly and him were just friends.'
"Chase...What're you doing here?" He gave me a very confused look.
I was going to ask him the same question until Kathy appeared behind him.
"Oh! Chase!" She said surprised.
'Threesome? Lucky man.'
"I came to check on Molly but if this is a bad time I can-"
"Oh! You knew Molly was sick?" Luke came to the door.
'Oh that's why they're here.'
Geez my mind is way down deep in the gutter. Wait, sick? The three of them let me into the house and I saw a very sick looking Molly lying in her bed.
"Molly. Didn't you go to the clinic?" I asked her. She only pulled the covers a little closer to her.
"Y-yes...I did." She stuttered.
Lie one.
"If you went to the clinic why do you still seem so sick?" Luke asked her.
"Jin gave me some prescription medicine...I have to take it every 12 hours." Molly said quickly.
Lie two.
"So where is it? You need to take it, right?" Calvin said.
"I took it a little while ago and got back in bed." Molly responded.
Lie three. Strike!
Molly certainly seemed sick, but by the way I saw it she didn't tell her friends about her injury yet. I opened my mouth to ask her what Jin had told her to do about it and Calvin, Luke, and Kathy all turned to me. I could see Molly shaking her head and silently pleading with me to not say anything about yesterday's incident. So I closed my mouth and smirked a little with an idea forming in my mind.
"Okay. So where do you want me to start for chores?" I asked her. I planned to make Molly have me stay so I can ask her what she really did yesterday after she ran from me.
Molly looked at me in shock, obviously already having caught on to my intentions while the rest of her friends looked from me to her in bewilderment.
"You asked Chase to help you on the farm?" Luke exclaimed.
I shot Molly a glance telling her she better say yes or I'd tell them the truth. She looked at me with a twinge of defiance but quickly resigned and sighed.
"Y-yes...I did..." She said through somewhat gritted teeth. Kathy looked from me to her and back again. Eyes wider than serving trays.
"Okay. Well I guess we'll leave you two to it." Calvin said, scratching his head in confusion.
He motioned to the other two to come with him and they all filed out of Molly's house leaving Molly and I alone. When they finally shut the door I looked at Molly and took a seat at her table, laying my head in my hand and staring at her.
"So..." I began in the most devious voice I've ever heard come out my mouth.
"Lift up your shirt."
Oh my! Chase, last time I checked Jin was the doctor not you! Well, it seems that Molly and Chase are going to be having quite the talk for the next chapter so I hope you guys look forward to the next chapter. And if you haven't already guessed this is becoming quite the MollyXChase Fanfic. Tell me how you feel you wonderful reviewers you! ;)
